The WHITNEY Handicap is named for the family which had so much to do with American racing in general, and Saratoga in particular. A handicap for three year olds and up, The WHITNEY is not very old in comparison to some of the other stakes at Saratoga. It did not start until l928, a year in which The Travers was sixty four years old and The Alabama fifty six, but throughout its history it has compiled an impressive list of winners, including several Eclipse Award champions. War Admiral, Challedon, Counterpoint, Tom Fool, Kelso, and Dr. Fager have been the national champions of all divisions; Discovery, Stymie, Dedicate, Devil Diver, Slew o' Gold, and Victory Gallop were all older champions, and Key To The Mint was a three year old champion.
The WHITNEY was run at Belmont Park in l943, l944, l945, and l96l. Run at Weight for Age prior to l954. For 4 year olds and up from l957 through l969. Run at a mile and a quarter prior to l955. Our Hope finished first but was disqualified
in l96l. Closed to geldings prior to 1971.
